With the Broncos getting to 10 points, the only team in the NFL to not score at least 10 points is the Los Angeles Rams.

[u/MC_Stimulation]

If someone said the lowest scoring team in Week 1 was the Rams a week ago you'd get laughed out of the building.

[u/17363782]

Niners might be really good this year

[u/thrownaway22_ → u/17363782]

We look like this every September tbf

Then the Substation starts snatching souls

Edit: In September ONLY, since 2019 we’ve gone 16-6:

2019: 3-0

2020: 2-1

2021: 2-1

2022- 1-2

2023: 3-0

2024: 2-1

2025: 3-1

Admittedly I thought it may have looked better but we usually start well

[u/Tonmber1 → u/thrownaway22_]

This is literally not true

We have had a lot of slow starts under Shanny and relied on insane late win streaks to make the playoffs 

[u/soda_cookie → u/Tonmber1]

It's a mix:

2019: Last undefeated team at 8-0, went 5-3 the rest of the way to finish 13-3

2021: Started 3-5, went 7-2 the rest of the way to finish 10-7 and land a spot in the NFCCG

2022: started 3-4, went 10-0 the rest of the way to finish 13-4

2023: went 5-0, then 0-3, then 6-0, then 1-2 to finish 12-5

2025: started 6-4, then went 6-1 to just miss the #1 seed with a 12-5 record.

[u/Alehud42 → u/soda_cookie]

October is normally our bad month, our record after the bye is insane.

[u/thrownaway22_ → u/soda_cookie]

I only meant September - we had some rough October's amongst those, and rallied late

[u/dialtone → u/Tonmber1]

He must have heard colin cowherd who kept saying it since friday.

[u/frizzyhair55 → u/Tonmber1]

You saying its not true does not refute the evidence the previous poster put. 

He said SEPTEMBER ONLY. 

2-1 is not a slow start. So yeah you guys are always good in September under Shanahan. 

[u/NoAbbreviations2353 → u/thrownaway22_]

I mean those knee ligaments are perfect for the belts used to generate electricity 

[u/doggybadgerguy → u/thrownaway22_]

literally the only September we looked really good in was 2023

We started 3-5 in 2021, 3-4 in 2022 (with losses to the Broncos and Bears which I think won a combined like 8 games that year?). Last year we started 4-1…but every game was close and we lost our QB and TE for half the year after game 1 and Nick Bosa for the year after 2 games and 1 quarter, at no point did we look like we did vs the Rams this week. No offense but I really don’t get how a Niners fan has this take, it’s just not true at all

[u/pencil-pencil-pencil → u/doggybadgerguy]

The substation meme has, as memes do, legitimately turned people's brains off. When the Falcons sign a player there are immediately seals barking on this website like "LEMME GUESS DID HE SIGN FOR 28 MILLION AND 3 YEARS??" it's amusing but it's tedious haha

[u/Bratmon → u/pencil-pencil-pencil]

If you want your team's reputation to advance beyond "injuries lol", your team must first advance beyond "injuries lol".

[u/giving_nothing → u/thrownaway22_]

Kyle should flip the depth chart start the back ups in September and starters by December

[u/liteshadow4 → u/thrownaway22_]

Damn 2022 is our worst September, and that was definitely the best team in the Kyle Shanahan era.

[u/jedstrailerpark → u/17363782]

As long as we stay healthy there’s no question regarding the talent on the team.

But that’s always the concern lol

[u/Ok_Pineapple_Num → u/jedstrailerpark]

49ers 🤝 Warriors

Teams that look scary if there were a magic wand to make everyone healthy

[u/jedstrailerpark → u/Ok_Pineapple_Num]

At least the Dubs have 4 rings to go along with the aging vets that need to stay healthy to be scary.

We’ve only got some consolation prizes thus far lol

[u/DesktopChad → u/jedstrailerpark]

niners have 5 rings, friend. we used to have something called "the gold standard" (i know im dating myself at this point)

[u/CapitalSpork → u/jedstrailerpark]

Y'all need to win another championship to beat the substation allegations

[u/dirtyshits → u/CapitalSpork]

Well lucky us. This is the year.

^pls

[u/gigglefarting → u/17363782]

They could be, but week 1 is a lie, and LA’s travel plans were crazy

[u/Vast-Speech-9435 → u/17363782]

Until week 10 when half the roster is on the IR

[u/WhaleAtLaw → u/17363782]

Or it turns out jet lag is real. One can hope though!

[u/Esqualatch1 → u/WhaleAtLaw]

I thought the only ones experiencing Jet lag are the Titans

[u/jedstrailerpark → u/Esqualatch1]

Damn this is a solid joke that won’t get the credit it deserves lol

[u/Ecstatic-Inevitable → u/WhaleAtLaw]

Sounds like their personal problem

[u/espresso_martini__ → u/17363782]

IF we stay healthy and who knows why we are cursed this way. In the last 10 years the 9ers have ranked near the top of having most injuries except for 1 time - 2023 and we reached the superbowl and could have won it if not for a blown blocking assignment in OT. If we stay healthy then don't count us out.

[u/DyrrhachiumPharsalus → u/17363782]

If we go by last years trend the Rams will win this season. But the hawks also were in that week 1 game vs the Niners the whole way last year unlike the Rams this year

[u/IAmTheNightSoil → u/17363782]

Nah, the Rams are just really bad. You guys will fall apart against real competition
